Oh gosh, Susan I’m so sorry somehow I completely missed this. I hope by now you are on the other side of a recovery and a lovely holiday. Maybe the rental will feel like a nice mental vacation. And then the meantime, thank you for the reminder about all of these glorious cookies. Sending my love. Xx
Oh, my goodness. I just read this. So sorry about the fire, water damage, and disruption. You will be quite busy in the new year dealing with it all. Wishing it goes as smoothly as it can.
I'm so sorry this happened to you and your house! I'll console my cookie self with some of the recipes I didn't get to the last couple years. Hope you can find some peaceful moments during the holidays given all the upheaval. Best wishes!
I am so glad that you are safe and that the damage was relatively minimal. I experienced a house fire in mid-November and the damage was more widespread, but, in between the bouts of stress, it has renewed my gratitude for my life and everyone and everything in it.
Same. It has been really stressful but also life-changing. I'm glad you're OK too. The damage is fairly extensive in our house. Amazing what water damage alone can do.
Wow! As we are fortunate enough to say when faced with daunting experiences ,”It could be worse!” Fig and almond biscotti are underway so thanks for this new roundup. Wish I had posted how fabulous the turkey thigh braise was at Thanksgiving. It really was. Thank you so much for all the good things you provide, and the steady, onward perspective you maintain.
Very grateful you are ok if a little hassled right before the holiday! Here’s to a smooth renovation with no bumps along the way. Thanks for a wonderful cookie roundup! Can’t wait to get started, especially with the shortbread.
so glad you're okay, susan.
wishing you ease during this renovation.
Thank you
I am thankful you are okay and wish you well. The cookies all look delicious!
Thank you!
